Date: July 8, 2025

NU Hospitals is one of the leading healthcare institutions in Bengaluru, India, and it is committed to providing high-quality care and a supportive work environment for its team members. With a large and diverse workforce, the hospital faced growing challenges in handling repetitive HR inquiries and ensuring timely access to employee-related information.

The Challenges

Team HR of NU Hospitals was facing operational inefficiencies caused by the following:

Repeated queries on shift schedules, leave balances, and HR policies

Delays in responding to employee queries due to manual handling

High dependency on emails and paperwork for basic HR requests

Dispersed HR data across various systems, making retrieval difficult

Increased workload on HR personnel, limiting focus on strategic functions

These challenges led to:

Slower internal communication

Reduced employee satisfaction

Higher administrative burden on team HR

Fragmented access to employee information

The Solution

To overcome these bottlenecks, Vassar Digital implemented a WhatsApp-based HR chatbot tailored for NU Hospitals. The chatbot was integrated with the hospital’s centralized HRMS platform to provide real-time access to employee data.

Key Capabilities Included:

Multi-source integration: The solution incorporated employee details (personal info, job history, HR documents) from multiple sources, including HRMS and other internal systems, into a single chatbot interface.

Smart query handling: Employees could check their work hours, leave balances, and access policies and handbooks instantly without raising tickets.

Document and policy integration: Employees get real-time access to updated policies, handbooks, and benefits, ensuring compliance and transparency.

Secure record system: The solution maintained data privacy and structured document access for HR teams.

Timely delivery: Agile implementation ensured the solution was deployed within the committed timeline with regular syncs for QA and user acceptance testing.

Support services: Ongoing post-deployment support included chatbot tuning, FAQ updates, and integration of health monitoring.

Results

NU Hospitals saw a notable transformation in HR service delivery:

Real-time access to shift schedules, leaves, and HR documents via WhatsApp

Substantial reduction in HR workload

From Complexity to Clarity

By adopting a smart, WhatsApp-integrated HR chatbot, NU Hospitals shifted from traditional, manual processes to a digitized, self-serve model of HR communication.
